Bring good food to share!
If you have walked in one peace march, one demonstration, one vigil for justice...if you have written one letter or sent one email or made one phone call to speak up for what you feel is right, if you have participated in one neighborhood clean up, one community meeting, signed one petition, attended one political house party... or if you want to...
If you feel compelled to act and you also feel compelled to draw upon a spiritual power - to meditate, listen and pray....if you desire to reach out to find other people with whom you can talk, who will support you and receive your support, who will "breathe" with you for Peace...
If you are looking for an experience of community that expands your inspiration and vision for the world, deepens your personal practice of peace and nonviolence and supports you in taking principled action...
